Innovate IT with confidence
Businesses are rapidly expanding beyond their traditional data
center boundaries into the cloud, with hybrid cloud architectures
becoming the new norm. As business-critical workloads and
data get increasingly run on diverse platforms across multiple
data centers, private and public clouds, it is imperative
for IT business continuity solutions to keep pace with the
transformation and to continue meeting business Service Level
Agreements (SLAs).
Veritas™ Resiliency Platform makes it simple for organizations
to innovate without compromising on critical business
SLAs. Organizations can confidently adopt hybrid cloud
architectures and predictably meet critical SLAs in spite of
growing IT complexity. With a unified approach to IT Service
Continuity, Resiliency Platform enables IT operations to deliver
predictable service levels to the business while ensuring location
independence, platform choice, and operational simplicity.
Key Benefits
• Gain visibility into global IT health
• Consistently deliver predictable SLAs to the business
• Automate orchestration across complex multi tier IT
services
• Integrate into existing environments with simplicity
Gain visibility into global IT health
Competitive business demands dictate the need for IT business
continuity strategies that don’t leave the business vulnerable,
including round-the-clock visibility into health of all applications
and data. Many IT organizations lack tools that provide a global
view of their IT health across critical services thereby preventing
them from implementing the right levels of protection for those
business services. Reliance on virtual machine mobility solutions
doesn’t provide insight into the most important asset—
the application.
Resiliency Platform delivers real-time visibility into the health of
all IT services across globally dispersed environments, keeping
applications and data in focus. Organizations can now keep
an eye on how well their applications are tracking to defined
availability SLAs, with insight into Recovery Point Objectives
(RPOs) and Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs). Making informed
business decisions based on the health of critical IT services just
got easier.
Key Features
• Single dashboard for management of multisite
business services
• Summary view of resiliency risks and real-time health
across all data centers
• End-to-end visibility for status of applications, virtual
machines, multitier business services, and data movers

Consistently deliver predictable SLAs to the business
Predictably meeting SLAs is the most critical aspect of an
organization’s business continuity strategy. Resiliency Platform
delivers complete confidence in meeting critical RTOs and RPOs.
Migration is simple, with a single-click for 1000’s of applications,
virtual machines, or an entire data center between sites or to the
cloud–consistently. Resiliency Platform ensures smooth failover
and failback of services across sites for continuity of business.
The Resiliency Plan feature provides customizable run book
automation for all recovery scenarios locally and across sites.
This allows IT organizations to pro-actively control recovery
operations and reduce complexities at run time. Resiliency
Platform also monitors for downtime risks in real-time such as
data inconsistency across sites, and proactively notifies the
business, so risks can be corrected before they cause a costly
outage.
It is critical that organizations stay prepared for the unknown
and predictably know how quickly they can get back to normal
operations. Resiliency Platform allows for disaster simulations
so business continuity preparedness can be reliably tested using
zero-downtime recovery rehearsals. No complicated, manual
cleanups are required and audit reports can be automatically
generated to keep stakeholders informed. With zero-downtime
recovery rehearsals from Resiliency Platform, businesses can
make resource-intensive weekend drills a thing of the past.
Key Features
• Recovery at granularity of choice–application, virtual
machine, multitier business service, or entire site
• Single-click, site failover, and failback operations including
customizable run book automation for recovery
• Cross-site resiliency risk monitoring and notifications
including diagnostics
• Zero-downtime recovery rehearsals with automated clean
up and audit reports
Automate orchestration across complex multitier IT services
IT services are increasingly distributed across different tiers to
best meet performance, scale, and agility expectations–each
individual service component may be running on a different
physical or virtual platform, or may even be a cloud-delivered
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application. Resiliency Platform
provides Virtual Business Services to simplify management of
multitier IT services with automated start/stop orchestration
and recovery even across sites. IT organizations no longer need
multiple teams involved in painstaking manual management
of inter-tier dependencies. Resiliency Platform captures and
automatically enforces these dependencies when the multitier
service needs to be started or stopped. This saves organizations
time and effort in managing uptime for complex multitier
applications locally and across sites, so IT teams can work on
what’s really important for the business.
Key Features
• Automated start and stop orchestration between
application tiers
• Recover workloads locally, across sites, or to the cloud
• Enable collaboration across teams by exposing
orchestration workflows
